Servings: 4

Serving Size: about 8 tots

Nutritional Information: 65.5 calories, 2.5g of fat, 4.1g of carbohydrates, 2.5g of Fiber, 7.5g of Protein

Ingredients:

3 cups cauliflower rice

1 egg

1 egg white

1/2 cup low fat shredded cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 425

2.Measure out 3 cups of cooked cauliflower rice. Then using a paper towel, press out all the moisture you can from the rice. The more moisture you squeeze out, the better they will turn out

3.Add the egg, egg white, cheese, salt, and pepper. Combine using your hands

4.Form into 3/4 inch cauliflower tots and place on a baking sheet coated with cooking spray. Give the tots a spray of cooking spray on top

5.Cook for ten minutes and then flip over and cook for an additional 7-10 minutes until crispy. Tip: If they aren’t holding their shape well, consider popping them in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Also, these freeze well so consider a double batch. They will need an extra 10-15 of cooking time if they are frozen.

What in the world is cauliflower rice?

[makemyownluck 785]

You steam a cauliflower and then I think you cut the florets off and put it through a food processor. Makes it a "rice" texture. Then use a cheese cloth to squeeze out all the moisture. I saw it on the food network or cooking channel a few months ago. I was intrigued, but I haven't tried it myself yet.

This recipe sounds realllllly good! I <3 cauliflower!

To "rice" cauliflower, first grate it on a coarse grater. This is the method I used when making cauliflower Pizza Crust. Once I grated raw cauliflower I microwaved it.
